Up North Jerky Outlet beef, turkey and wild game jerky have gained a loyal fan following at Florida Gander Mountain outdoor sporting goods stores. Up North Jerky Outlet is a distributor of premium jerky made in the old time smokehouse tradition. Jerky lovers in Michigan have been fortunate to have local producers of gourmet quality beef, turkey and wild game smoked meat products. Up North Jerky Outlet products are now featured in all five Florida Gander Mountain stores, including Palm Beach Gardens, Jacksonville, Lake Mary, Ocala and St. Augustine. Premium jerky from Up North Jerky Outlet is now available nationally in over 40 Gander Mountain stores.

"Up North Jerky Outlet products and Gander Mountain are a natural combination. Folks who love the outdoors also tend to like beef and game jerky," according to Scott Christ, Up North Jerky Outlet National Sales Manager. " Our products are special because there is no compromise when it comes to quality. Many of our customers make their own jerky, but they buy ours for the quality and the variety of flavors."

The popularity of Up North Jerky Outlet products in Florida is no surprise to Scott, "I'm a born and bred Floridian. And just like the Gander Mountain motto, 'I live outdoors.' The plain fact is we just plain love jerky down here. And it has to be good. Florida folks are very particular when it comes to jerky." The popularity of Up North Jerky Outlet products at the five Florida stores demonstrates that Florida consumers appreciate premium jerky and smoked meats products.

Up North Jerky Outlet was the first distributor to offer Michigan made USDA approved premium jerky to a wider range of consumers. Starting back in 2004, Gander Mountain became the first big box retailer to feature Up North Jerky Outlet products in a few select stores. Gander Mountain customers can now choose from premium beef, turkey and wild game jerky, along with tasty hunters sausage in a wide variety of flavors and sizes.

Up North Jerky Outlet jerky is made with whole muscle meat with no fillers. Real beef rounds and turkey breast are used, along with authentic venison, elk and buffalo. Scott says, "Gander Mountain customers know that they are getting the best when they buy Up North Jerky Outlet products. When you buy jerky in an outdoor store you expect to get better product than in a gas station or convenience store."

Scott adds that the placement of Up North Jerky Outlet displays at checkout gives Gander Mountain customers an opportunity to pick up a quality snack as they complete their shopping. "Beef Jerky and premium meat snacks are the perfect last minute impulse item for a retailer to place at checkout. The customer gets a tasty treat and the store gets a bottom line boost. Everybody wins."

Gander Mountain customer can select from the most popular Up North Jerky Outlet flavors. There are five flavors of beef jerky, including honey barbeque, peppercorn, teriyaki, blazin' hot and cherry maple. Turkey jerky is available in honey barbeque and cherry maple flavors. Wild game jerky is available in 3 oz. packs of buffalo, venison and cherry maple elk.

In addition to jerky, several flavors of hunters sausage are on the Gander Mountain menu. One of the most popular products is the mini hunters sausage, a small jerky sausage stick available in five tasty flavors including original, hot & spicy, garlic, jalapeno and teriyaki. "The mini hunters just fly off the shelves," says Scott. "The combination of pocket size packs and great taste make these a natural for any outdoor activity." Also popular are the larger king size hunters available in original and jalapeno flavors. These are also available in very popular larger bulk packs.

Paul Lyons, Up North Jerky Outlet founder and CEO, says, "Many of our original flavors come out of an authentic "Up North" smokehouse tradition of the northern lumberjacks and early settlers."Paul is not surprised at the success in the Gander Mountain stores. "Up North Jerky Outlet is more than just a distribution company. We are a motivating force bringing high quality jerky to a larger market. There is a market for jerky made to a higher standard. Gander Mountain customers are aware that beef and game jerky is a traditional American delicacy. They want a higher standard."
